Title: poor heater fan speed
Post by: omega trev on 21 July 2009, 21:40:56

hi all
i have had a look for this on here but no results so here goes, the speed of the air coming from the vents in the car doesnt seem to be all that spectacular, wether it is set on lo or hi it just seems gutless. i have changed the pollen filter but this has made no difference. the car has full climate by the way and a freind of mine has a cdx model with the same  setup and when he sets to lo or hi its like a bloody hair dryer! any ideas would be much appreciated as this time of year its taking about 2 hours to cool the cabin down to a bearable temp.
thanks

I have had a similar problem, you can hear the fan motor spinning rapidly when set at higher speeds but there is virtually no of air coming through the vents.  Mine gets worse the longer the journey, it's fine when I start but after about 30 minutes the ventilation virtually stops.

have your scuttle drains overflowwed at any point?

if so the fan speed controller behind the glovebox may have got wet and now want replacing.

Not sure.


Comes up here often enough, but not something we have a guide for.

Removing the glovebox is the start and the guide for that is here :

maybe the next person to replace should do a guide?

one of the breakers here is bound to have one  :y

it sits in the bottom of the heater/fan housing & pulls out downwards. has a multiplug on it with about 6 wires on it.
your best off removing glovebox completely so you can see what your doing.
i got a second hand one for around £10
